    Morning,

    Boots have just sent me an email to say my items have been dispatched BUT only 3 out of the 7 that i ordered!!! The other 4 have been cancelled due to no stock!:mad::mad::mad: Im so angry if they didnt have stock why did show that they did, and now ive missed all the decent stuff i wanted in the instore sale as i thought i already had it coming to me. So now i dont have peoples presents sorted for this year. :confused:

    And i tried to withdraw £10 from my OH's scratchie but his card has expried and it wont let me update card details until theres £0 money in the scratchie account. It says to call them to change them, but i didnt really want to call them so they would see he doesnt play games very offten just the free scratchcard, so i played the £10 on hole in the wall slots and won £21. So now he will have to phone up!:rolleyes:

    Shame on Boots, are they allowed to do that? I would be so furious and would complain (to get some freebies maybe?)!

    Well done on winning £21 on slots!

    I read it yesterday the virgin changed their terms and conditions as well, if you want to withdraw you need to play £5 worth of bingo on their website every month. I only did the free scratchies and just withdrawn my money at the end of December so as of today, I'm closing my account with them. Try to open a new one with someone else:). What are you going to do with your OH's BB account? I can't withdraw,if I play, I lose the cash, if I don't play I don't get bonus :(. Hate when they change things.

    Also after thinking about getting married this year etc i was browsing cupcakes as i love them and would want cupcakes with a small top tier cake as my wedding cake. Anyway, ive now decided to start making cupcakes too! :D Ive printed off the receipes for the cakes and butter cream.

    So as my Boots order didnt work out im going to make my brother and his wife cupcakes for there birthdays and make a cute box myself for them to go in too. The same with Valentines i will make OH some. Ive been checking out Lakeland for icing tools etc, just off to check out ebay too as they might be cheaper. Ohhhh im excited:D

    On the money side of things, i havent managed to make my £5 a day but will be listing bits on Ebay tonight or tomorrow so im hoping by the end of the month i will make my target.

    If you like cupcakes you should have a look at these: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=287662.msg3261515#msg3261515

    The lady makes them from soap and bath bomb stuff. I've had a look at doing it myself but it's really hard to get the bits you need here, it's alot easier in the US, I did think they are amazing though, and they'd make nice wedding favours (not that I'm going to be getting married any time soon).

    I almost made christmas themed chocolate lollies for everyone at work, but then I realised that it would cost a small fortune and I should probably get a grip lol. That is a good site though, I also saw a lot of that kind of stuff on ebay, and being ebay some of it was quite well priced too.
